Voted “the best right back” in Europe between 1962-64, the former England and Blackpool captain also had a successful management and broadcasting career.

Armfield was a member of the 1962 and 1966 World Cup squads, though a toe injury kept him from his place in the starting lineup when England won the tournament.

He spent his entire playing career with Blackpool before managing Bolton Wanderers to promotion and Leeds United to the European Cup Final, righting the ship after Brian Clough’s infamous spell in charge of the club.

There’s a statue outside Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road, and the club legend has a stand named after him inside the venue.

Referees Gottfried Dienst and linesman Tofik Bakhramov were as big a part of England’s 1966 World Cup victory as anyone to appear in the final, as they controversially allowed Geoff Hurst’s first extra time goal to stand despite the fact that the ball appeared to not cross the goal line.

Hurst had already scored in the 18th minute to level things at 1 with West Germany, and Martin Peters’ 78th minute tally looked to have given England its first World Cup. But Wolfgang Weber equalized in the 89th minute, forcing the final into extra time at Wembley Stadium.

Then came the 101st minute of extra time, as Hurst picked up the ball inside the 18 and hammered a ball off the underside of the cross bar. The ball headed straight down onto the goal line, with at least part of it crossing. After a long talk, the goal was allowed.

Hurst would score later to complete his hat trick and a 4-2 win but the game will always be mired in controversy. Years later, the film was converted to color (below). Ask yourself: what would’ve happened if the goal happened today? And should it have counted?
